In 1954 , Godzilla was 164 infantry tall . With each sequent visual aspect over the past 60 yr , his altitude has increased , so that he now stands at 492 base . Not spoiled , given that it took cetaceans 55 million years to go from 8.2 feet to 98 feet in length . Can evolutionary possibility facilitate explicate Godzilla ’s speedy growth spurts ?
Marine life scientist Craig McClain — the Assistant Director of Science for theNational Evolutionary Synthesis Center — has an explanation over at hisblog , Deep Sea News . In a Logos , McClain ’s result is “ skyscraper . ”
Skyscraper height has increased dramatically over the last one C . For Godzilla to proceed to plow through edifice in major urban center , a more formidable size is needed . Of course , this size change can only be evolutionarily adaptative if it changes the seaworthiness of Godzilla , i.e. in the simplest case the telephone number of offspring passed to the next coevals . If Godzilla is capable to topple buildings this might let for greater acquisition of resourcefulness — in this vitrine , food in the form of hoi polloi . This would increase the lifespan of Godzilla [ and ] allow for more reproduction or allow for great amount of Department of Energy to be passed to the offspring , increasing their rate of survival . Or perhaps toppling edifice is a sexual video display that intimate partners cue on . intimate selection !
On a side note , McClain calculates that Godzilla would bring on 151,436,928 Imperial gallon of urine per daylight . Take heed , Portland .
